The info regarding the digital manual replacing the paper one seems to be correct. See this link from Ford, the footnote states the following:

**On vehicles with digital owner manuals, the paper manual will be dramatically reduced but not fully eliminated.

As for your worry of accessing it with a dead battery, you can also access it through your phone (link).

For the key code, I couldn't find any info, as far as I can tell, there should've been a card provided. If where you I'd raise a serious concern with the dealer on its whereabouts as it can provided access it's holder access to your vehicle. They should provide it to ensure no one else took it.

Found out that the 2020+ ST Wheel Centercaps are a 100% replacement for my 2016 21", only they are black instead of blue. Part number FR3Z-1003-A. Got them for about $11 each. I had previously purchased an aftermarket set like those available in eBay or Aliexpress (set of 4 for about $12), but they did not fit correctly, the tabs were shorter and they would be loose and easily fall off. I also found a site that sells the set (4 pieces) for $34.95 (link), but as I still had to ship them overseas, my local dealer's price made more sense.

I am guessing because the Sport taillights are darker (blacked out), hence if you install only one side it will be different compared to the other (stock) side, hence the incompatibility (different part numbers).

Start with my question: does anyone else notice the front struts seem to compress easier than the rear on their Gen II Sport?

I do. Going over speed bumps I get the exact same feeling you described. I remember it this way since new.

Reading Ford's introduction of the Edge Sport, they did state upgrading the rear shocks compared to the standard but no mention of the front struts.

Quote

The Edge Sport suspension has been upgraded with front and rear antiroll bars that are 15 percent stiffer than the base model. Unique rear monotube dampers are larger in diameter, while coil springs are 10 percent stiffer and offer 20 percent less body roll than the previous-generation setup. Enhanced damping gives Edge Sport improved road-holding capability – providing the driver with more control, sharper steering and greater confidence. 

I am not sure how it is on iPhones, but with an Android, you'd go to the Bluetooth settings and disable "Media audio" for Sync. But that would also disable Bluetooth audio streaming.

The Edge is not supposed to lock by itself automatically when you walk away from it, you have to lock it.

Apparently fuel Tank drilling has started to make news.

My opinion:

Nautilus or Edge: Test drive first. Generally speaking, the Lincoln will be the nicer more comfortable ride, but will depreciate more (percentage wise). In my experience, my 2011 Lincoln MKX though was more expensive than all Edge trims, but after 6 years it's value become slightly below a 2011 Edge Sport with the same engine.

2019 or 2020: Newer, lower mileage is always better, but will be more expensive.

V6 or 4 cylinder: I haven't tried the 4 cylinder, but previously had the 3.7L V6 in the 2011 MKX and now have the 2.7 V6 EcoBoost in the Edge Sport, I definitely wouldn't go for the 4 cylinder.

Buyer's remorse: Get a V6 2020 Nautilus. You won't regret buying the best option (highest trim, Engine, model...etc.), only your wallet will hurt. ?.

Again, Test Drive. This is the biggest deciding factor, in my opinion.

It's all seemingly so close ...

 

(8U5Z-9C268-B) thick, expanding neck lock $22

(BU5Z-9C268-B) thin,  pivoting plate lock $50 (or is it $60 ...) add Ship $16 USPS, $21 FedEx

 

The part number "BU5Z-9C268-B" (for the 2015+ Edge) supersedes (BU5Z-9C268-A), I found one (1) piece of the older part number available on eBay for $27.29. 

I have a 2015 Lincoln MKS with the 3.5L V6 EcoBoost and the stock exhaust system sounds good, unlike the 2.7L EcoBoost in the 2016 Edge Sport I have. There is a vast difference in exhaust sound between the two even though both are Twin Turbo V6s. Probably its just the nature of how each is designed, I guess one of the reasons being the 2.7 being designed for more stringent future emissions regulations.

The related service procedures are attached. 2017 should be the same as the 2015 model.

Unfortunately  It did not work, I still have issue with two line(DDM) 740-03-1 and (PDM) 741-03-1 reading F while while instruction in table above said to change 6 to 7.

You stock "F" setting should work. Do not change it. Did you try the "Reverse Tilt Mirror Calibration" process? Did the option show up in the cluster under vehicle settings and it is enabled? Nothing else comes to my mind now.

Thanks for your help, As my knowledge of forscan is almost 1 day old I appreciate your support and excuse my lack of understanding. ... I did not figure out which digit I need to  change the Line   720-02-01 has FBA4  AC78 1E08, your charts say 3 disable and  7 enable , next Column says : Add Hex 4 to Existing Value: 3+4=7. But there is no 3 in all line. attached screen shot.

 

Just as @Wesow stated above, it is better to add you Edge model/year to you signature. I assume you have a European Edge as from you screenshot it shows to be a diesel model. The default value is different (not 7) because you also have folding mirrors. So you have 720-02-01 as FBA4  AC78 1E08 and you'll need to change the A to E (A+4 = E). The line then becomes FBA4  EC78 1E08. When writing the value you will get a "checksum" error, just ignore it, then the last two digit (08) will change to the correct checksum value.

Could you let me know Reverse mirror tilt code please.

Select left/right mirror, put vehicle in Reverse and mirror will automatically tilt down toward curb and then return to normal position when gear is changed or mirror switch is unselected.

Reverse Tilt Mirror Calibration:
1) Switch the ignition on
2) Press the memory button
3) Select the mirror you want to adjust
4) Put your vehicle into reverse (R) and let the mirror automatically tilt until it stops
5) When the mirror is in its tilted position and is no longer moving, adjust it with the controls
6) Hold the memory button for 5 seconds to save the setting
7) Press the mirror button and return to park (P)
? Hold memory button again

Although there is no specific list/sheet for the For Edge, you can generally follow the same codes as other Ford vehicles. For the 2015+ Edge, you can follow the 2015-2020 F-150, 2013+ Fusion (2nd Gen) or 2016-2019 Explorer.

Use ForScan with a suitable OBDII adapter.

Welcome. Hope you enjoy your new ride.

It would be nice to get a VIN so can determine what firmware it is running on the 19/20

Here two "Swiss" spec'ed EU Edges listed for sale with VIN# included in the listings:

Black (07/2020 build) ST-Line (2FMTK4A32LBA77409).

Brown (07/2019 build) Vignale (2FMTK4V32KBB84369).

Not true, the hooks that thread through the bumper are specifically designed for vehicle recovery.  But as noted, the North American recovery industry has found other ways to get vehicles out when they are stuck.

Do the hooks attach to the steel bumper or the frame? I've seen several videos online (other makes) where the bumpers are stripped off when attempting any real recoveries using the recovery hooks. I know the Euro Edge (Gen2) does have the bumpers with holes for the recovery hooks. My "GCC" spec Edge (basically a NA spec with few changes) also has the holes and recovery hook stowed in the cargo area, but I would be afraid to use it for fear of damage to the bumpers.

Hi all,

Can anyone confirm what firmware files works with the MKX cluster on the Edge? Or where I can find them? My cluster currently is stick MKX and is working fine, but I'd like to switch to the Ford colors and it would also be nice to get the outside temperature display. 

Just an update, I found that the below are the EU Edge firmware files:

EU Edge (I think for later 2016 up to 2018. dated Aug. 25, 2016, they are with the thin needles and center digital speedometer?
GM2T-14C026-NE
GM2T-14C026-ANE
GM2T-14C088-NE
GM2T-14C088-ANE

Also found these for earlier build UK 2016 Edge (with thick needles but without center digital speedometer):
GM2T-14C026-NC
GM2T-14C026-ANC
GM2T-14C088-NC
GM2T-14C088-ANC

I also found out that with the Ford graphics and new "thin" needles, if the Cluster welcome startup was enabled the startup animation would show the thick needles (during the animation) and then change to the thin needles. This seems to be because when Ford started to use the "thin" needles on newer vehicles, the clusters were configured without the "welcome" animation turned on, hence the graphics animation for the welcome screen were never updated. So if you use any firmware with "thin" needles you need to disable the welcome screen.

Anyway, I have eventually settled (for the time being) on the FS7T firmware of the Fusion/Mondeo listed in the 2gfusion thread that include the thick needles, outside temperature display and correct animation. The Ford graphics & blue needles, in my opinion, are better looking than the Lincoln's. They also make them easier to read.

OP has a 2018 model, see the below linked video. Hopefully opening the glove box this much is sufficient to get what fell behind.

How many cars I had, the first time I see that there would be no hook. 

I wonder what the manufacturer was thinking when he decided to abandon the hooks? If your car gets stuck somewhere, you can leave it forever. )))

 

 

For many years American models didn't have any hooks, especially for cars & crossovers. For recovery, it is still possible. See this channel where they do a lot of recoveries by hooking to the lower control arms.

Has anyone had this issue, with key start ignition? Or only push to start? I called Ford today they said the TSB is only relevant for push to start ignitions.  But I am having the same exact issues, as that TSB states : shift to park, shift indicator lights remain on when I exit the vehicle. Key gets stuck in the ignition. I was told I would have to replace the whole shifter probably, or it may be the gear selector on the side of the transmission. But it won't have anything to do with this switch. Somebody please chime in to help me.. Thank you..

The TSB (Link to the TSB), also states "or unable to remove the integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT)", so it does include vehicles with key start ignition.

Could I ask for the successful instructions or directions to them to add mirror tilt in reverse on a 2013 Edge Limited?  Would it be a correct assumption that what is listed in post 4, works? and that you merely enable all of the below?  Thanks  Ed

Mirror tilt in reverse only works on the gen2 Edge (2015+). It cannot be added to prior model years.

Just today I find that SSSM 49931 was issued by Ford to address this issue for 2015-2021 model years.

Summary
Some 2015-2021 Edge, 2016-2018 MKX and 2019-2021 Nautilus vehicles may exhibit a hood bounce or flutter condition at high speeds. This may be due to an incorrect adjustment of the rubber bump stops. To correct this condition, make sure the rubber bump stops are in contact with the inner hood sheet metal. Using a piece of paper between the hood and the rubber hood stop, make sure the paper fits snug with hood closed. For claiming, use causal part number 16612 and applicable labor times from Section 12 of the Service Labor Times Standard (SLTS) Manual.

I also just realized that I was not adjusting the bumper stops (this) to try to stop the shake.
